Lawyers conflict in Comp case

Mr Armenta handled my Comp case and resolved all outstanding issues satisfactorily and prior lawyer conflicts quickly in court Outstanding work!

Posted by Phil | February 18, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Workers Compensation

Excellent Worker's Comp Attorney

I highly recommend Mr. Juan Armenta! Mr. Armenta and his staff bring an extensive experience and knowledge in worker's comp law. He successfully led me to a very favorable settlement for my injury. I have to admit I was a little skeptical at the beginning because of the bad experience I was hav...ing with my previous attorney, but after speaking to Mr. Armenta I knew I had contacted the right one this time. His excellent guidance and constant communication made the process a lot easier for me to focus on getting the medical attention I needed versus dealing with the complex world of worker’s comp. Thank you Mr. Armenta for all your hard work and dedication to my case!

Best attorney I have worked with, Juan Armenta

Juan Armenta is an excellent attorney both for bodily injury cases as well as Workers Compensation cases. He has taking care of both kind of cases for me to my great advantage. Juan Armenta's office is in Palm Desert and even though I live I in Pasadena I chose him over many others. I consider myse...lf very fortunate and highly recommend Juan Armenta. He is understanding, hardworking, very professional, knows the law in and out . This always sits well with any Judge. Thank you , Anne, Pasadena Ps. I started hiring this attorney in 2006 and he has been my attorney since. He did not only handle a lawsuit he also handled a worker's compensation suit. You only give me one field to choose but It is important to know that he handled both.

workers comp claim

Mr. Armenta did an excellent job for me. He did all the necessary preparation for the case in a timely manner. He is well schooled and experienced in his field. He kept me well informed as the case went along and didn't let it drag out. I got an acceptable settlement when I needed it. Very profession...al and personable. He is an excellent choice if you need a workers compensation lawyer.

Excellent, professional, high integrity attorney & assistant. Highly recommended A++

Juan Armenta is an attorney that fully understands the clients rights and will be an advocate for them until the very end if necessary. My case was by no means considered high profile, but after first talking with Juan I was convinced I had a legitimate case, so decided to move forward with him on a... contingency basis. If we lose we both we lose and I would not be charged any attorney fees; If we win the other party is responsible for all attorney fees. This I found to be unusual, as most attorneys do not wish to take the time unless they can win the lottery, so to speak. This level of integrity is compelling, something his clients will be grateful for. His assistant was also most helpful and courteous when he was not available. Juan Armenta is not one to mince words--he will tell you exactly how the process works and reasonably how long it will take--very professional. His vast experience deposing witnesses ultimately made the difference. In the end, we prevailed with our case and I must say sooner than perhaps expected. What was truly remarkable; I never actually met Mr. Armenta before, during or after the case was settled--all communication was done by phone or email. Someday I hope to meet Juan in person so I can look him straight in the eye and say "Thank you"!
